As a skinny kid growing up in San Mateo, California, during the 1980s, Tom Brady dreamed of one day becoming a professional football quarterback. He overcame great odds to get there. Although Tom proved to be a star player in high school and college, most NFL teams overlooked him. Finally, the New England Patriots took him with the 199th pick in the 2000 NFL draft. Tom worked hard and waited for his opportunity. When an injury vaulted him to the starting spot in 2001, he shocked the world by leading the Patriots to their first world championship in Super Bowl XXXVI. This was the first of three Super Bowl victories his teams would win. This book tells how a boy with big dreams grew up to become one of the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history.
